Prologue
Hi! I'm Andie, and this is my story about a few good friends of mine. It all started in freshman year of high school. Though our main story will take place after high school, I believe that for you all to understand everything, you first need to know the history behind all of this. So, I have decided to be kind enough to give you all the history of each year of high school before jumping right in.
This is me! I'm 20 years old, and I live in a small city with my family. I'm going to college to be a veterinarian. My current love life is kind of complicated. I'm in a situationship with my guy friend, Mason.
This is Mason. He's 20 and a Catholic, but he's not as uptight as some would think. He used to date my best friend, Alex.
See above, Alex, my best friend for four years and counting. We go to college together, and she knows all about my fling with Mason. She's into it. She said we should make out in front of him. Back story, we used to be a thing in high school. She was my first kiss. We made out a couple of times at sleepovers. No big deal. Just that we were in love for a bit. She told me I never have to worry about being alone because she will always love me. She is one of my supports along with my best friend Oliva. Unfortunately, Alex and Oliva do not really get along.
This is my dear friend Olivia. My longest friendship. We have been friends since middle school. She has had my back through the thick and thin even when i abandoned her multiple times she always staied by my side. She always gives the best advice. Though I dont always listen to her, she never holds it against me. She promised to be my friend forever, although I didn't believe her at first she had proven herself by always staying with me. And talking about my friends Olivia is the only friend of mine that can get our friend Riley to come out of her home to hang out.
Up there is Riley. Riley is a socially akward, crazy fun girl. I used to have a crush on her back in high school. She does tend to fall off the face of the earth for weeks at a time before resurfacing. Olivia and I always have to go out to her home to go find her and get to hang out. She never answers her phone, but when she does, Olivia is the only one who can convince her to get out. Riley is very intorverted oppisite of my friend Nyx.
Last but not least, this is my extroverted dare devil friend Nyx. She's a total badass, and my Gemini twin. We've known each other for years, but we got separated by going to different high schools. We reconnected a couple of years ago when we worked at the same place, an Alpaca farm. We house-sat for them a couple of times together and got to know each other again. We've been hanging out recently, and I've filled her in on my little love triangle going on. She thinks it's hilarious.
Now you know my friends here. They all make an important part of my story. And they all have stories of their own that sometimes tend to interlace. I was thinking I should go back to high school, but let me just sum this all up real quick.
Nyx was nowhere in my high school life. Olivia and I were tight in freshman year, always by my side as i was going through hard times. It was because of Olivia that i met Jake, my first boyfriend. And he reintroduced me to Mason, whom I briefly knew in middle school. At this point, I met Alex but still was not close with her. But i had also met Riley and ended up developing a crush on her.
In my sophomore year, I barely talked to Olivia, but I still made a point to talk to her and spend time with her, but I spent most of my sophomore year with Alex. I was obsessed with Riley during this year, and with Alex, my emotions were all over the place until junior year came.
Junior year, I started dating my first love, Jake. I was obsessed with him, which i think is a pattern for me. We dated for all of junior year and half of senior year.
During this time, I also spent a lot of time with Mason and Jakes friend group. I had also forgotten about Olivia as much as she wanted to be near me. Junior year, i did not make that a priority. At the beginning of the senior year, I still pushed her away as Jake did not like her. She advised me to be against him. I guess I should have listened. When Jake broke up with me, i was left broken, and Olivia was there with open arms to hold me while I hurt and tried to remain friendships with everyone. Mason was always neutral to it all, but after all of this, we ended up staying friends again after high. This point is where our true story begins one year after high school ended.
